In my opinion, AI just feels like the logical next step for capitalist exploitation and destruction of culture. Generative AI is (in most cases) just a fancy way for cooperations to steal art on a scale, that hasn't been possible before. And then they use AI to fill the internet with slop and misinformation and actual artists are getting fired from their jobs, because the company replaces them with an AI, that was trained on their original art. Because of these reasons and some others, it just feels wrong to me, to be using AI in such a manner, when this community should be about inclusion and kindness. Wouldn't it be much cooler, if we commissioned an actual artist for the banner or find a nice existing artwork (where the licence fits, of course)? I would love to hear your thoughts!

That's your opinion. I disagree with it. Keep the banner as it is. Someone surely took the time to make that image. As it's pretty good even more for the time it was created. You are just dishing that person's work. I respect that person work, so the banner should stay.

It would be fine if it was possible to ask the person who made the banner how did they made it and how long it took.

Your complain seems to be mostly based on AI being able to do things faster. At that point why stop there.. don't hire digital artist. They took jobs away from traditional artists. Pretty sure the only good thing we could do I commission the banner to a full crew of sculptors to do the 3d mesh on granite and then a full tome oil painter for a year to capture the image into canvas. That would make sure that not technological advances would steal anyone's job.

Edit: It's fucking ironic that anti-AI people use downvote/ upvote bots. But I catched it. Fucking ironic.

I generated it, actually, and I put no time into it whatsoever.

Can you share the model, the input parameters and the seed?

What part of "I put no time into it" do you not understand?

[-] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago

Do you respect the truth?

Or you think that lying is justified when defending a cause you believe worth?

The CIA will not allow me to answer this question.
However, I do have complementary Skittles.
